Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 382

Chapter 382: Transfer of Assets

Who knew that Auntie Lan would answer her with, “Not at all. I know what Young Master has been through over the years, and under the premise of offending the Ye Family, Young Madam, you were still willing to marry him. That means you truly love Young Master. Otherwise, when he was facing the Ye Family, you could’ve left him, but you didn’t.”

Lin Chuxue smiled and said, “Then don’t you think there’s a possibility that I approached him and married him after finding out about his background as the grandson of the Ye Family? What if I had been waiting to inherit his mother’s legacy?”

Auntie Lan laughed. “Young Madam, you are humorous. If you were really that type of person, then when Young Master decided to cut off all ties with the Ye Family and when the Ye Family collapsed, you could’ve divorced him and left. But you stayed with him the whole way. I’ve also heard that your reputation in the entertainment industry had always been good. If you were really that kind of vulgar and materialistic women, wouldn’t there be enough men that you could’ve used? You definitely wouldn’t have bet everything onto Young Master and kept your distance away from all the other men. You are very loyal to love, so you hold yourself to a very high standard and can’t tolerate others touching you or tarnishing your feelings for Xu Cheng. In terms of this, I think you are very similar to someone I know!”

Lin Chuxue: “Who?”

Auntie Lan: “Madam!”

Lin Chuxue was shocked. “Mom?”

Auntie Lan nodded. She smiled and said, “Sometimes, I don’t know if it’s destiny or not. These businesses were all handed to Madam by the Old Master during the early days, and over the years, they were all taken care of by me. However, now that Madam passed away and the businesses landed in your hands, I feel like they have returned back to Madam’s hands.”

Lin Chuxue thought about it, chuckled, and said, “I’m actually not as grandiose as Mom. Auntie Lan, in fact, I used Xu Cheng in the very beginning. The reason I married him and came to Huaxia was that I feel at least I’m not against being with him. In comparison to marrying those nobles in Britain, it feels like I have more options open if I married him.”

Lin Chuxue thought about her intentions back then, sighed, and exclaimed, “During those days, I thought it was fine if Xu Cheng wasn’t someone powerful or influential. After all, I’m quite a domineering person, and that way, even if I stopped liking him one day, he wouldn’t force me to do anything I don’t want to, and I can also make money to compensate him. However, I just didn’t expect that he would rise up this fast, so fast that I feel I’m not able to see through him more and more. In fact, the biggest change in my feelings took place during the last trip to Britain, it made me understand how happy it feels to be loved by a man. So, now, I will rather be his woman, one that’s understanding, smart, and well-behaved while standing behind him. I know my appearance will bring him a lot of trouble, and that’s why I decided to not come out in public as much anymore. In comparison to the amount of sacrifices Mom made, I’m really guilty to be compared to her. In fact, what happened to her also affected me. This time, when Xu Cheng lost his mother, that was when I realized how much love Xu Cheng was lacking. People often say, sometimes, men are really childish and women always had to take care of them like their mom. I want to give him more care.”

Auntie Lan felt very touched hearing that. “Chuxue, Young Master is really lucky to be able to find a wife like you. It’s really God’s compensation for the amount of suffering he had to endure.”

“That’s an overstatement.” Lin Chuxue chuckled.

Auntie Lan gently patted Lin Chuxue on the back of her hand and said, “Then let us make up to him together. Let’s go, Auntie will take you to take a look at those companies.”

Lin Chuxue saw she couldn’t back out of it, so she could only bitterly smile and nod. After they were done at the spa, she went with Auntie Lan in Auntie Lan’s Maybach to the law firm.

This was a firm that was responsible for helping Auntie Lan manage all of her businesses.

Seeing Auntie Lan come in, the managing partner of the firm personally welcomed them into the VIP room.

“Senior Sister Lan, it’s been a while. It’s great to see you again!”

Then, looking at Lin Chuxue, even with her sunglasses on, the partner was stunned. “Is this your daughter? She’s stunningly beautiful!”

Auntie Lan nodded and smiled as she said, “Mr. Zhang, I’m here today to transfer all the companies I’m normally taking care of to her name. Here is the power of attorney of Ms. Ye Ruanyu and her death certificate.”

After taking over the documents, Mr. Zhang immediately nodded. “Very well, then please give me one moment, I will give you an updated valuation of all business assets and then see how much transfer tax needs to be paid.”

Auntie Lan nodded.

Lin Chuxue sat beside her and asked, “Auntie Lan, what kind of companies are these? I heard of this law firm before, it’s really upscale and normal companies wouldn’t be able to afford its service… These businesses must not be small then, right?’

Auntie Lan just chuckled. “No matter how big the businesses are, you still have to inherit them for Young Master, right? Also, Auntie Lan wants to ask you a favor. Don’t tell this to Young Master for now. He’s still grieving about how he caused the fall of the Ye Family and indirectly killed his mother. He won’t touch these things that were related to the Ye Family and his mother, so I’m afraid that he will get emotional if he were to find out.”

Lin Chuxue nodded understandingly. “Got it.”

Attorney Zhang came back with two accounting assistants, and from that entourage, Lin Chuxue already knew these were not small businesses!

“Senior Sister Lan, there are a total of six companies you manage that were under Ms. Ye Ruanyu’s name. One is a real estate company, and it’s currently fairly stable on the stock market and its main market is all the first-tier cities in the nation. Plus, it’s doing fairly well for the hotel chains it was able to develop under its brand. Right now, its market value is ranked fourth in the industry in the country, and it is worth 130 billion RMB.”

When Lin Chuxue heard that market value, her heart skipped a beat.

“Wa-wait! Mr. Zhang, what did you say? Worth what?”

“130 billion RMB.” Attorney Zhang thought he might’ve made a mistake and that caused his client’s confusion, so he asked, “Is there anything wrong?”

Lin Chuxue was dumbfounded. It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen money before. After all, she grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth (TL note: a saying that means her family’s facking rich), and her family’s business was also worth about 6 billion euros, which was about 40 billion RMB. However, just the first company alone was going to now transfer 130-billion-worth of assets under her name? That was already enough to buy three companies of her family company’s scale… How could she not be shocked?

It was no wonder that her dad Lin Guiren said Xu Cheng’s father couldn’t fight against the Ye Family… Just the assets of the daughter of the Ye Family’s leader were already on this scale, they were indeed a behemoth family with over a thousand-years of history!

“Auntie Lan… I’m afraid that I can’t accept this company… not even just in place of Xu Cheng.”

Auntie Lan patted Lin Chuxue on the back of her hand and said, “Don’t worry, if Young Master asks, I will talk to him. I believe Young Master won’t get angry with me. This is what his mother gave him, he dares to not take it?”

Then, she said to Attorney Zhang, “Continue.”

Attorney Zhang nodded. He pushed up his glasses and looked at Lin Chuxue with a bit of confusion as he secretly thought, Is this woman’s brain not working? Who wouldn’t be tempted when such a big company was given to them? She actually wants to refuse it?
